Der Jäger im Walde

Language: German (Deutsch)

Our translations: DUT ENG FRE

Der Jäger in dem Walde
sich suchet seinen Aufenthalt,
mit Hund und Wehr
wohl hin und her,
ob für ihn nichts zu treffen wär.

Mein Hündelein ist stets bei mir
in diesem grünen Laubgewölb,
mein Hündchen wacht,
mein Herz es lacht,
die Augen gehen hin und her.

De jager in de bossen

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the German (Deutsch)

De jager in de bossen
Zoekt zich een goede schuilplaats uit,
Met hond en geweer¹,
Steeds op en neer,
Of hij niets raken kan een keer.
 
Mijn kleine hond is steeds bij mij
In deze groene bladerzaal,
Mijn hondje wacht,
Mijn hart, het lacht,
Mijn ogen schieten heen en weer.

¹ En geweer: bij Brahms te zingen op twee zestienden en een achtste.
